I am by now used to the ‘journalistic’ style of the GulfWeekly. One and the same person contributes the car review, which feels like somebody copies entire paragraphs out of the manufacturers press-release or PR brochures, or elevating even the most mediocre eateries to culinary temples, as long as a free lunch can be had, and flogging, what looks on the photos as the most dreary and impersonal flats, as luxurious apartments and phenomenal penthouses.
